FACT Mix 163 – Lil Silva (Jul ’10)

The new Lil Silva release is an EP I can’t get enough of right now. I am a huge fan of Night Slugs and what Bok Bok and the boys have been doing over the last couple of years. With every release they drop I have a listen and can’t decide what it is I like about them, I put the tracks out of sight for a week and then revisit them just to be absolutely blown away! The new Lil Silva EP was no different, I didn’t get it immediately but ‘Gold To Get’ and ‘Pulse vs Flex’ are massive tunes and the full six tracks that are on ”Night Skanker’ are all worth a listen. BIG MIX, BIG RELEASE, these guys are taking over! Have a little listen to the tracks below and get out and buy a copy!!!!

Everyone who went to see Tim Burton’s self-indulgent Alice in Wonderland said the highlight was the trailer for Tron 2, or Tron Legacy as Disney are calling it. I have fond memories of the first film. I guess it was to me what Star Wars was to earlier generations.. It had a brilliant bleakness to it. The never-ending dark landscapes, ominous music and characters you cared about. Rare for Disney. The new one looks like it has potential but I don’t want to over hype and then be made to eat my own words. It deserved mentioning that Daft Punk are doing the soundtrack which I think is a good thing. There have been many a ‘leaked track!!!!!!’ on the net, but I think only one of them is legit. Roll on December!

Of all the ‘leaked tracks!!!!’, whether official or not, this one is my favourite.

Onto more musical matters but keeping with the futuristic theme. Peverelist is the latest artist to mix for Fact magazine. There is no tracklist, just music, including what sounds to me like unreleased tracks from the man himself.

If that’s your thing then be sure to check out rising Manchester based producer xxxy.
